CHILI Continued from Page 1 Pittsburgh project where they said they filled 52 garbage bags with overgrown ivy from an el- derly woman's yard. “It was a lot of fun,” Clark said. “At the same time, it was eye- opening and humbling. You went to people’s houses and they didn’t have much, but they were happy.” The cookoff, the brainchild of Andrea Frantz, was whipped up as a way to help raise money for youth from the Back Mountain church and the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston to participa- te in the Pittsburgh Project.

It made me feel very good. I was thrilled that I could help.” At the time, Schaffer didn’t know the backdrop to the story. Thirteen years ago, Dave Swan had a battle with cancer that left the couple unable to have chil- dren. “Our dogs have taken the place of the kids we can’t have,” said Sandie Swan. “We baby them. We spoil them the same way a parent would spoil their child. That’s why we were so worried.” The 10 days without Daisy were gut-wrenching for Dave Swan. “It was heartbreaking coming home after work every day and not having Daisy there,” he said. “The dogs mean the world to me.” Carol Schaffer can appreciate that sentiment. “I know all about the bond and what animals mean to people,” she said. “They’re a big part of your life. It could have been a tragic ending. With the cold weather and Daisy being only six months old, it must have been heartbreaking for them at night wondering what was going on.” “It was such a great sight. Daisy was kissing (Sandie) and she was crying.

Calls poured in from Sha- vertown to Sweet Valley. Strang- ers volunteered to look. A retired man searched every day. Anoth- er person used his time off from work to look for Daisy. “I am very lucky and proud to be part of a community with such great people,” said Sandie, who has lived in the Back Moun- tain for eight years. Dave Swan was raised in Idetown. “They were incredible. Every day we went searching, we saw some- one else searching. These were people we didn’t even know.” Earlier this week, Sandie Swan brought photo of the dogs and a big bag of cat food to the Schaff- er home. Carol Schaffer says the act of kindness wasn’t necessary. “She didn’t have to do that,” she said. “The gratification of seeing Daisy back with her fam- ily was more than enough re- ward. Any animal lover would have done what I did. It’s a great story with a happy ending.” © PUZILE ANSWERS Puzzles, Page 2 —— King Crossword — Rational Numbers Answers answers Solution time: 21 mins.
